Jocelyne is an incredibly warm and welcoming person who made me feel at home from the moment I arrived. She cooks delicious meals, and being vegetarian was no problem at all.
My main task was planting, which Jocelyne taught me with great patience. But overall, my stay felt less like work and more like being part of the family and their everyday life, including helping a little around the house or with the grandchildren.
I had the opportunity to explore many beautiful places and meet a lot of lovely people. Overall, I had an unforgettable experience, and I already regret not staying longer!

Great first project. Took a few days to get used to the heavy work, living conditions, and different life. Jocelyne is a good human, willing to share her life, teach, and is generous to take us to local places. I liked that there were other individuals too which I got to talk to and live with. It was an enjoyable and enriching experience: living differently, slower, beautiful sights, around French language. And I am always happy to eat Jocelyne's food. Note no internet access, not near public amenities or towns, so it would be a long walk or Jocelyne may drive, 4-6 hr transit from airport.
